Volunteers needed for Food Pantry drive September 8

This in from Illinois Democratic Network's Niles Township DemNet...

Collected during the June collection at Jewel.

Hi Everyone,

We've planned ahead for the September food drive for the Niles Township Food Pantry, knowing that everyone's schedule gets filled quickly that month.

Our September drive is set for Saturday, September 8th, at the Jewel near Old Orchard, 9949 N. Skokie Boulevard in Skokie.

On Saturdays, the Jewel is busiest from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., so we will be covering those hours. We like to have four volunteers for each shift so we can cover both entrances.

Can you help? Please let me know your availability for one or more of the shifts and indicate your first, second, and third choice. I'll confirm your scheduled time after I receive responses.
The shifts are:
9:30 – 11:00
11:00 – 12:30
12:30 – 2:00
2:00 – 3:30

Cathy Struzynski can still use volunteers for the drive on Sunday, August 19th. Please let her know if you can help and what times you're available at cathystruzynski@yahoo.com.

Thanks so much for all you do!

Volunteers needed for Niles Township Food Pantry Food Drive June 25

This in from Cathy Struzynski...

I'm sorry for the late notice, but we just finalized the arrangements for the June food drive. The upcoming food drive is set for June 25, 2011 at the Jewel in Skokie, located at 9449 N. Skokie Boulevard.

Volunteers are needed from 9:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m. and we would like four volunteers for each shift. Please let me know your availability for one or more of the shifts and indicate your first, second and third choice for each possible shift. Once I receive responses, I will confirm your scheduled time. The shifts are:

9:30 – 11:00
11:00 – 12:30
12:30 – 2:00
2:00 – 3:30
3:30 – 4:30
The last shift includes assisting in unloading the food at the Food Pantry.

Significantly more people are using the Food Pantry and our contributions are invaluable. Cynthia Carranza, the Food Pantry Director, is very grateful for our efforts and the food we collect is distributed in just a few days. Volunteering for at least one shift is an easy way to help our less fortunate neighbors.

Please respond with your availability, indicating the number of shifts you can cover and your first, second and third choice for each shift.

Thanks for your help and I look forward to hearing from you.
